The Belgian daily De Tijd started a trial this month with versions of electronic paper, a device with low-power digital screens. embedded with “digital ink.”
To be honest I love reading the new on the actual paper, its a better feeling. Ok electronic is good, but theres a certain feeling i liek with actually having the newsPAPER
I agree, but as far as I understood it is very similar to real paper. :vamp: Read the stuff! It’s interesting.
Imagine the use, when the price drops.
the question i have to ask myself is “how many more electronics can we possibly carry around?”
i mean plenty of people are already walking around with
- cell phone
- blackberry
- mp3 player
- laptop
so do we really need another device just for the news? one thing i like about the newspaper is that you can quickly glance over it, read what you want, then throw it out. i don’t have to worry about losing it, damaging it, it being stolen, it running out of power, etc. actual newspapers are worry free. if you lose it before you read it no big deal because it only costs 50 cents.
The whole world is becoming electroning… they are even creating electronic arms! WTF?!
I also agree with Seb, I like the normal paper… it has that authentic smell.
Reminds me of the crazy Google 2011/2012 flash video that was circulating (the years were different versions). I just hate how newspapers turn your hands black. I’d still rather read them on paper though, like Seb up there.
I have a dream… that one day, all electronics will be fused into one device, and that you can have a monitor on your contact or glass lenses… what a dream… just give it 5-10 years. Oh, and since we are talking about electronics, alow me to go off topic for a sec.
If any of you read Popular Science (magazine), then you’ll know what I’m talking about. They now have 3d electronic ads made by lasers, so its basically a hologram. They are making the lasers safer so they cant cause blindness so it’ll be out in Japan in a year.
keep dreaming buddy… 
lol
I heard that they could make them completely dynamic so that they update themselves every few hours. Same with posters or bill boards. There’s loads of possibilities.
I knew it’d come out this year.
I am so against this type of technology. I still have a taste for the old stuff like gasp movie theaters and actual books and newspapers. The reason why they are coming out with all of this is because (at least here in the US) they are losing tons of money. Here, no one under 30 reads the newspaper or watches the news on tv anymore.
i heard that was going to happen too… in the mid 90’s. i think it was called the web.
